The monographs reviewed in this NBC are loosely linked by maritime connectivity. We start with the effects of Atlantic trade on the Gambia River region; we then shift to the east coast of Denmark to witness the effects of trading networks, such as the Hanseatic League, linking the Baltic and North Seas. Next, we go back in time to explore the changing nature of contacts between Britain and the Near Continent from the Mesolithic through to the Iron Age; a second volume of similar geographic and chronological sweep draws out a particular subset of themes for more detailed consideration. Finally, we head out into Remote Oceania to consider the initial settlement of the Mariana Islands and to trace the evolution of their physical landscapes and their human settlers over three and a half millennia
